Daniel J Walsh 80c5962dba Add containers-common spec and command to podman
Since containers-common package is tied to specific versions
of Podman, add tools to build the package into the contrib directory
This should help other distributions to figure out which commont
package to ship.

gofuzz
======
gofuzz is a library for populating go objects with random values.
[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/google/gofuzz?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/google/gofuzz)
[![Travis](https://travis-ci.org/google/gofuzz.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/google/gofuzz)
This is useful for testing:
* Do your project's objects really serialize/unserialize correctly in all cases?
* Is there an incorrectly formatted object that will cause your project to panic?
Import with ```import "github.com/google/gofuzz"```
You can use it on single variables:
```go
f := fuzz.New()
var myInt int
f.Fuzz(&myInt) // myInt gets a random value.
```
You can use it on maps:
```go
f := fuzz.New().NilChance(0).NumElements(1, 1)
var myMap map[ComplexKeyType]string
f.Fuzz(&myMap) // myMap will have exactly one element.
```
Customize the chance of getting a nil pointer:
```go
f := fuzz.New().NilChance(.5)
var fancyStruct struct {
A, B, C, D *string
}
f.Fuzz(&fancyStruct) // About half the pointers should be set.
```
You can even customize the randomization completely if needed:
```go
type MyEnum string
const (
A MyEnum = "A"
B MyEnum = "B"
)
type MyInfo struct {
Type MyEnum
AInfo *string
BInfo *string
}
f := fuzz.New().NilChance(0).Funcs(
func(e *MyInfo, c fuzz.Continue) {
switch c.Intn(2) {
case 0:
e.Type = A
c.Fuzz(&e.AInfo)
case 1:
e.Type = B
c.Fuzz(&e.BInfo)
}
},
)
var myObject MyInfo
f.Fuzz(&myObject) // Type will correspond to whether A or B info is set.
```
See more examples in ```example_test.go```.
You can use this library for easier [go-fuzz](https://github.com/dvyukov/go-fuzz)ing.
go-fuzz provides the user a byte-slice, which should be converted to different inputs
for the tested function. This library can help convert the byte slice. Consider for
example a fuzz test for a the function `mypackage.MyFunc` that takes an int arguments:
```go
// +build gofuzz
package mypackage
import fuzz "github.com/google/gofuzz"
func Fuzz(data []byte) int {
var i int
fuzz.NewFromGoFuzz(data).Fuzz(&i)
MyFunc(i)
return 0
}
```
Happy testing!
